New Thought Beliefs

New Thought is based on Universal Spiritual Principles

New Thought is a spiritual teaching based on the observation of Universal Spiritual Principles
undergirding all spiritual paths and religions. New Thought recognizes that the
driving force which serves as a crucible for personal transformation is "as we
change our thinking, we change our lives."

The 1914 book Message of New Thought defines New Thought spirituality as "a
term used to convey the idea of growing or developing thought. In
considering this subject, the word "New" should be duly and freely
emphasized, because the expression "New Thought" relates only to what is new
and progressive."

While there is some wonderful folklore regarding the
orgins of New Thought,
New Thought is a spiritual path or movement formed primarily by Suffragettes
and Abolitionists guided by Core Concepts which include: co-creation,
human rights and scientific thinking.

There are many wonderful New Thought organizations with diverse root texts and a variety of approaches to those texts and distinct methods of teaching.
Explore different New Thought beliefs and choose the approach that best suits
you. While we are aware that the majority of people who choose the New Thought
Path do not find a New Thought Community that suits their sensibilities, we
encourage you to visit a variety of New Thought communities being aware of
the difference between New Thought today
and "late New Thought" which was an aberration of the late 20th Century.

New Thought Today

New Thought Principles of the New Millennium

1. We affirm the Divine as That That Is, Good, Mind, Infinite Being, Spirit, Ultimate Reality.

2. We affirm that the name we give the Divine does not define, nor change the truth.
Naming something beyond the comprehension of namer simply serves to define the giver and his or her relationship to reality.

3. We affirm that the Divine is Good, is Love, supreme, universal, and everlasting.

4. We affirm the unity of humanity with the Divine, in that the divine nature dwells within and expresses through each of us, by means of our acceptance of it, as Good including health, supply, wisdom, love, life, truth, power, beauty, and peace.

5. We affirm the power and potency of meditation and spiritual practices.

6. We affirm the capacity of each person to have divine and mystical experiences, and enjoy Divine Grace.

8. We celebrate the diversity of the global genome and within our species by being the Divine loving and compassionate presence in all that we do and through seeing the Divine in all whom we encounter.

9. We affirm the Divine as a creative force defined through co-creation, therefore all souls are responsible to insure their being is one that contributes to highest good.

10. We affirm that we are living in an energetic spiritual universe composed of energy vibrating at different speeds. Our universe is undergirded by laws which we seek to understand through science and art, including physics, mathematics and oral and written expressions such as poetry, drama and storytelling.

11. We affirm that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience and as we come into alignment with the laws of the universe, we harmonize with That That is and can thus heal, prosper, and live in balance and peace.

12. We affirm that our mental states influence our interpretation of our
experiences and that through the principle of co-creation / partnership our
thoughts can be carried forward into manifestation and become our experience in daily living.

13. We affirm the truth of Spiritual Evolution which is evidenced by the ongoing
transformation of physical and energetic life in patterns that can be traced and
comprehended mathematically. This evolution is both universal and individual as evidenced by our evolving consciousness which is both defined and reflected by our beliefs.

14. We affirm the expression of the highest spiritual principle is found in unconditional love
and mutual respect for our shared Universal Human Rights as defined in the
UDHR.

15. We affirm that the deepest truth and highest wisdom is expressed through compassionate action which promotes highest good; that through sharing New Thought principles, focusing on health and harmony, we are creating heaven on earth right now.

16. We affirm that the various cultures throughout the world have manifested
mythologies which reflect diverse and dynamic principles. These cultures
have at times manifest teachers who have taught principles rooted in these
mythologies, or in novel breaks from such mythologies and cultural traditions.
The validity of such principles and whether they constitute true wisdom can be ascertained to be valid through the consciousness such
wisdom promotes and the actions that result from such consciousness.

17. We affirm the truth of the teaching "as above, so below," meaning that it is up to us to
be guided by Wisdom, which is the combination of knowledge with compassion, to cooperate
and co-create in the manifestation of the "Kingdom of Heaven" here and now through
higher consciousness and compassionate action.

This basic premise of New Thought, that the Divine is Good and Omnipresent is based upon universal spiritual principles as demonstrated and taught by historical figures such as Buddha, Danika, Lao Tzu, and Jesus the Christ. It is understood there are many "Wayshowers." The strength of the teaching of a particular Wayshower is demonstrated through the consciousness and actions of the followers of that path. The adherents of each spiritual path are collectively responsible to the rest of humanity and all life to insure that the expression of their path is not abusive or violent nor violates the rights of other beings.

As mentioned above, New Thought is inclusive and draws on the wisdom of all traditions that teach the truth of our Unity with God/Good and the omnipresence of God/Good.

New Thought Day was declared by James Edgerton on August 23rd, 1915
During research while expanding the free New Thought Library,
one of the ministers came across an interesting quote from early New Thought Alliance President James A. Edgerton:
"'The truth, once announced, has the power not only to renew but to extend itself.
New Thought is universal in its ideals and therefore should be universal in its appeal.
Under the guidance of the spirit, it should grow in good works until it embraces many lands and eventually the whole world.'
~
New Thought Day, August 23rd
, 1915."
